Yogi Amitram

Yogi Amitram is the founder and director of Rishikesh Yogashram (Trust) located in Rishikesh, Uttarankhand, India. He is establishing his eco-friendly ashram on the Hill Top of Manikoot mountain on the edge of Rajaji national park overlooking Rishikesh town and Ganga River. While he is managing his ashram’s construction, he lives in Bharat Sadhu Samaj Yoga Ashram looking after the regular activities of the ashram. He has been raised in a traditional Indian Brahman family in Varanasi where his grandfather, Yogi Ramswaroop (Guruji), was his first Yoga Master who sowed the seed of yogic lifestyle in his soil of consciousness in his childhood. During his university education he post graduated in Information Management and continued his studies to deepen his knowledge about yoga, attending teacher trainings and workshops at Bihar School of Yoga, Anand Prakash Ashram, Tripura Yoga Ashram, Patanjali Yogpeeth and Sivananda Ashram. He managed to study and practice several styles and traditions of yoga as Patanjali Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, classical Kundalini Yoga and Kriya Yoga, sharing his experiences with many other seekers. In 2010 he also realized a CD distributed worldwide on Yoga Nidra and Guided So-ham Meditation. He is regularly visiting North America to share his wisdom with his friends and students. His present vision is to offer the Ashram he is building as a sacred place for spiritual seekers to practice yoga meditation and ayurveda in an eco environment ideal for inner contemplation and self-understanding.
